NCM jobs: Trying to save output to a file and have the hostname of the device in the filename.

So I have created a job that then sends the output to a file on the server, I want to have the host-name of the device that I am running the job on so that it is obvious which device this is for.

I don't want to hard-code the host-name of the device so that I can run the job on lots of devices and it will save a new file for ever device rather than having all the config for all the devices on one file.

any ideas?

When you go into NCM settings you can change the archive location, it can be a folder on the polling engine or a network fileshare.

You’ll want to have a look here at the NCM Macros and the link after too. Should get you going, note that it’s not all inclusive, you can actually use custom properties too if you know they have trusted/consistent data to structure your files into folders.

So i have tried a lot of different macros in the filename but none of them are working.

As an example: location/configs/CONFIGS FOR ${SYSTEMNAME} ${DATETIME}

the datetime macro works but the others do not.

I would use ${Caption} instead of ${SystemName}

The SystemName field needs to be filled in SNMP and i believe also "inventoried".

Hope that helps.
